Generate positive random numbers
显示 更早的评论
I need to write a function for the area of a circle. If area = pi * r.^2. How can I ensure that a randomly generated value for r will be positive?... r = rand was rejected by my teacher. I assume because r could be negative?

r = rand;
will give a positive number between 0 and 1. It will never be negative. You'll have to ask your teacher why he or she rejected that. Perhaps he/she wanted it multiplied by something, like r needs to go between 0 and 15:
r = 15 * rand(1);
Maybe you didn't write a function but just wrote a script. Maybe the function needed to have input and output arguments and you didn't give them. It's hard to say without seeing (1) your code that you showed your teacher, (2) the problem statement, and (3) your exact teacher comments. You'll have to ask your teacher for clarification.
